This has nothing to do with this page's content....

Does it bother anyone else when there's no white space between text and
graphic elements or the edge of a Web page? How about whenwords runtogether
and spelling is sloppy? I know I'm not allowed to complain about online
grammar because I may injure some recently educated (say, within the past
three decades) writer's tender feelings, causing them to go into a deep
funk and actually consider their verbal delivery....

(Ok, it's early in the day and week and I've had only one cup of tea. But
isn't the web mature enough for its consumers to legitimately demand decent
layout and good writing? Would someone remember to tell me when delivery
counts more than bells and whistles? Or, horrors, is this the "new
paradigm"? I've noticed that the market is bullish for poor spelling,
grammar, and word usage in other written media; my fingers itch for a blue
pencil whenever I read the N&O! The itch is nearly unbearable when I read
the web -- I've dreamt of becoming a hacker just so I can break into some
of those sites and *fix* 'em!)
